For a YouTube Live real estate listing loop, show the project’s RERA registration number and the website address of the relevant RERA Authority prominently and legibly in the video. Keep both visible as the loop plays; a video description may not travel with the stream when it is shared or viewed elsewhere.
Section 11(2) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 establishes the central disclosure baseline for a promoter’s advertisement or prospectus. The project’s state or union territory may add rules about social-media promotions, placement, type size or QR codes, so confirm the applicable Authority’s current directions before publishing.
Put the essential details on screen
Treat the disclosure as part of the video itself, not as supporting paperwork. The practical starting point is a clear block containing the exact project registration number and the relevant Authority’s website address. The number identifies the registration; the website gives a viewer a route to check the registered project details.
The Act’s section 11(2), as reproduced on the Kerala RERA promoter duties page, says that a promoter’s advertisement or prospectus shall prominently mention the Authority website address where registered project details have been entered and include the registration number obtained from the Authority. For a looping video advertisement, a sensible way to implement that baseline is to put both items in the picture, together, in a stable position.
Use the official project or Authority record to verify the exact number and URL. Do not lift the number from an old flyer, an agent’s message or a draft design without checking it. A single mistyped character can direct viewers to the wrong record or make the disclosure difficult to verify. If there is more than one project or phase in the material, make sure the number shown belongs to the project actually being promoted.
A description, pinned comment or contact page can carry additional information, but it should not be the only place for these two details. Viewers may encounter the stream through a device or embed where the description is collapsed, omitted or separated from the video. The video itself is the element likely to remain attached to the listing loop.
This is also a useful point to review the rest of the listing. Ensure that the project name, location and claims in the loop are consistent with the information approved for promotion and with the registered project record. Kerala RERA’s promoter guidance describes the promoter’s responsibility for the veracity of an advertisement or prospectus; check the applicable Authority’s own current material rather than assuming that a video format changes that responsibility.
Make the registration number legible
A number can technically be present yet fail in practice if it is too small, low-contrast, cropped by a device or covered by another graphic. Use a type size that remains readable on a phone as well as a larger screen. Test the exported video at ordinary viewing size, rather than relying only on the editing preview where text may appear larger.
Put the number against a plain, high-contrast background. Avoid placing it over moving footage, fine architectural detail or a bright window, where the characters can disappear from one frame to the next. Keep enough space around the text that it does not look like part of a phone number, price or project address. Use a plain typeface and check characters that are easily confused, such as zero and the letter O.
The central provision says “prominently”; it does not prescribe one nationwide pixel size or a universal number of seconds for displaying an on-screen overlay. Do not infer a technical specification where the source does not give one. The goal is that an ordinary viewer can find and read the disclosure without pausing, zooming or guessing.
For a loop, keeping the number in a consistent visible area throughout the video is often a practical design choice. It means a viewer who joins at an arbitrary point is less likely to miss it. That is an implementation choice, not a claim that national law requires a specific overlay duration. Confirm whether the governing state or union territory gives more precise directions and follow those where they apply.
Before export, check the actual rendered file. Look at scenes with the brightest and darkest backgrounds, transitions, title cards and any crop or resize used for YouTube. If the number becomes hard to read against one scene, use a persistent solid or translucent panel rather than shrinking the type to fit. A legible disclosure is more useful than a decorative layout that hides it.
Show the relevant Authority website
Display the website address of the Authority responsible for the project, not simply a generic reference to “RERA”. A viewer should be able to recognise which official site is relevant and type or follow the address. Use the Authority’s official domain as shown in its current project records or public guidance; check spelling and punctuation carefully.
The URL and registration number work together. A number without the relevant Authority’s website leaves a viewer to work out where to search; a website address without the number does not point clearly to the project record. Present them on the same screen and in a way that makes their relationship obvious, for example with a small label such as “RERA registration” followed by the verified number and the Authority address.
A QR code may be useful in some contexts, but it is not a substitute to assume will work everywhere. Rajasthan’s 2024 regulation explicitly addresses social-media promotions, including YouTube, and says a QR code is not valid for those promotions; the registration number and website URL must be displayed legibly, readably and detectably. The Rajasthan Real Estate Regulatory Authority Regulations 2024 are a jurisdiction-specific example, not a nationwide QR rule.
If you add a QR code as an extra convenience where permitted, retain the visible number and URL. Check that any code resolves to the correct official project record and remains scannable in the actual stream, but do not let testing the code replace checking the written disclosure. A viewer may be watching on the same phone they would need to scan with, may not want to scan, or may be viewing a compressed or cropped version.
Keep the disclosure visible in the video
A 24/7 loop has no guaranteed starting point from the viewer’s perspective. Someone may arrive midway through a property tour, during a transition or while the video is repeating. Keep the registration details in a fixed location across the loop where practicable, rather than showing them only in an opening slate or a brief closing card.
This approach also makes the stream easier to maintain. If the number and Authority URL are part of a consistent disclosure panel, you can review that panel whenever the project information changes and check the output once. If you put the details in several separate scenes, each copy can drift or be missed during an update. Use a single source of verified text in your editing process and inspect every scene where it appears.
The loop still needs to work as a listing. Keep the disclosure clear of key property features, room labels, contact information and captions. Do not make it so large that it obscures the subject, but do not reduce it to unreadable fine print to preserve a clean image. If your footage has varied backgrounds, reserve a quiet area of the composition for the disclosure rather than moving the text around from shot to shot.
A description and a link in the channel’s accompanying material can provide a second route to information, but they do not solve the on-screen issue. YouTube’s official guidance on live streaming is useful for understanding stream setup, not a replacement for the applicable RERA advertising rules. Keep the compliance check tied to the project jurisdiction, and the production check tied to the final video viewers will actually see.
For background on keeping recorded material running as a live broadcast, see this guide to playing prerecorded videos live on YouTube without a PC. If the loop includes repeated scenes, a separate check for joins and transitions can help; the advice on seamless looping in a YouTube Live stream is about playback continuity, while the disclosure still needs its own legal and visual review.
Check jurisdiction, registration and exemptions
The project’s location, not the channel operator’s location, is the starting point for identifying the relevant RERA Authority. The title of a video or the fact that it is streamed on YouTube does not identify the governing state or union territory. Confirm the project jurisdiction and the Authority’s current rules before preparing the final overlay.
Then verify the project’s registration status against that Authority’s official record. This article cannot determine whether a particular project must be registered, whether a registration is current, or whether an exemption applies. Those questions depend on the project’s facts and the governing legal provisions. If the promoter says the project is exempt, ask them to substantiate that position and check the Authority’s guidance before deciding what the advertisement should display.
Do not treat an exemption as a reason to improvise a disclosure. Some Authorities may specify what advertisements for projects not required to register should say. Kerala RERA has published guidance concerning such projects, but that is not a universal rule for every state or union territory. Confirm what the project’s own Authority currently requires.
Keep a record of the official source used to verify the number and website URL, and note who approved the final creative. This is a practical workflow safeguard, not a declaration that a saved screenshot or internal approval proves compliance. If details conflict between a marketing draft and the Authority record, stop publication and resolve the discrepancy with the promoter or the Authority rather than choosing one version.
A production workflow can help make these checks repeatable. A creator who needs the same approved video to continue while their own computer is switched off may use StreamNeo to turn an uploaded file into a YouTube Live stream, which removes the need to leave a personal machine running; it does not verify a project’s registration or decide what disclosures apply. Keep legal review and video operations as separate tasks.
Apply the rules for the project’s state or union territory
The central baseline is not a complete layout manual for every platform. State and union territory directions may address which media count as advertisements, what must appear, where it should sit, how readable it must be, whether a QR code is permitted or whether an advertisement must also be uploaded to an Authority portal. Check the current official circulars, regulations and promoter guidance for the specific jurisdiction before publication.
The differences are concrete. Rajasthan’s 2024 regulation names social media platforms including YouTube and distinguishes social-media promotion from other media for QR purposes. For a Rajasthan YouTube promotion, do not rely on a QR code in place of the visible registration number and URL. Other parts of the same regulation address QR use for other promotion media where publication and scanning are feasible; do not carry that rule across to YouTube without reading the social-media provision.
Kerala provides a separate example of more specific presentation guidance. Its promoter guidelines direct that the registration number and Kerala RERA website address be prominent, at least as large as contact details and the project address, and placed in the right top quadrant of the advertisement. They also address uploading project advertisements, including social-media advertisements, to the project page in the K-RERA portal. These are Kerala directions, not an India-wide placement rule.
| Question to check | Central baseline or example | What to do before publishing |
|---|---|---|
| Which details belong on the advertisement? | Section 11(2) names the Authority website address and project registration number. | Verify both from the relevant Authority’s official project record and show them in the video. |
| Is there one national overlay position or size? | The central provision calls for prominence but gives no universal pixel size or screen quadrant. | Check the project’s state or union territory rules for more exact layout directions. |
| Can a QR code replace the written details? | Rajasthan’s 2024 regulation says QR is not valid for social-media promotions, including YouTube. | Keep the number and URL visible; check the applicable Authority’s QR rules rather than assuming a nationwide standard. |
| Does a state-specific instruction apply everywhere? | Kerala’s right-top-quadrant and relative type-size directions are a Kerala example. | Do not transpose another jurisdiction’s guidance to the project; confirm the governing Authority. |
That comparison is a prompt for local verification, not a substitute for it. Rules can be amended or supplemented, and a guidance page may not cover every project circumstance. Use the current official source and, where a rule or project status is unclear, seek advice from the responsible promoter or a qualified professional before the loop goes live.
A useful pre-publication sequence is: identify the project jurisdiction; confirm the Authority and exact project record; obtain the current state or union territory advertising directions; prepare the overlay to satisfy the central baseline and local specifics; then inspect the final loop on a phone and a larger display. Recheck after any edit to the number, website, project claims, crop or layout.

FAQ
What RERA number should I show in a property video?
Show the registration number obtained from the Authority for the project being promoted, after checking it against the official project record. The project details are not supplied here, so no particular number or registration status can be identified.
Does a YouTube property advertisement need the RERA website link?
Section 11(2) sets a central baseline calling for the Authority website address and the project registration number to be mentioned prominently in a promoter’s advertisement or prospectus. Check the current requirements of the state or union territory governing the project, including any rules specific to social media.
Can a QR code replace the number and URL on screen?
Do not assume so nationwide. Rajasthan’s 2024 regulation says QR is not valid for social-media promotions, including YouTube, and requires the number and URL to be displayed; check the relevant Authority’s rules for the project.
Where should the details appear in the loop?
Keep both details legible in the video, ideally in a stable, high-contrast area that remains visible as viewers join at different points. There is no universal national pixel size or screen position established by the central provision; follow any more specific local direction, such as Kerala’s guidance where Kerala rules apply.
